Abstract
Despite the bursting of the NASDAQ bubble, the real
new economy will continue to grow at an exponential
rate, generating huge increases in wealth in the
process. While Asia has lagged the development of
the new economy in the US in the early stages, Asia
excels at applied technology stages and investments
in Asia will be on the leading edge of the growth
curve over the next decade. Development of the new
economy in Asia will be similar to North America,
but will also have a uniquely Asian flavor. These
differences will create the most profitable investment
opportunities for investors. Asian demographics
are powerful, especially for products where scale
means value.
